There are very few public or private

ing these spares is to tinug them on
large nails or hooks. This may do for
a day or two, but if left for any length
of time the tire will assume an Irregu-

Equally railed to the rigor* or every-

pinna and sparkling beauty that
mark it an a distinctively smart
motor oar.
Rich, contrasting colors, sst off with
brightly polished nickel radiator and
fittings heighten the sweeping tinea
of the long wheelbase and body. The
roomy Seats are aphoUterad in fine
ambosaed leather, and every driving
and riding comfort and facility are
provided. Clock, speedometer, cigar

lighting and ignition switches and

New rear spring suspension, and

brought greater riding rasa while tha

Remove the valve tappets from the
engine ease. Find the center and drill
a %-lnch hole 14-lncli deep in the face
of the tappet. Then cut a circular
piece of liber, 8/10 In. thick, to fit the
hole tightly. Place the piece of fiber
In'the hole and give it two or three
sharp blows with a hammer to seat It
properly. File olt flush with the top
of tappet and finish the surface with
flue emery cloth.
Hal’d lead or copper caps may be
fastened to the tops of tappets. The
cups can be formed of No. 18 hnrd
lead or No. 22 copper over the top of
the tappets, hjr cutting a circular piece
of the material *4 In. greater in diam-
eter than the top of the tappet,
cutting the edges at ench corner of the
tappet ntid pounding down the edges.

The famous old Speedway now the new Speedway running along the
Harlem river,
New York city., from 150th street to Dyckuian street, was re-
cently opened for the first time to passenger automobiles.
The speedway was originally constructed for the accommodation of trot-
ting horses und pacing horses Wenty-one years ago. Many of the most fa-
mous trotting races In Ne„v York were held on the famous dirt course. It
was sacred to light horse-drawn pleasure Vehicles.
Owing to pressure and the lengthy discussion of its uses it was recon-
structed and thrown open to the automobile. The commissioner of parks was
ro-ontiv emnowered by the state legislature to open this and other roadways

where the nail has been when the tire
Is put Jnto use.
The Illustration shows a type of
hanger that may be made wide enough
to accommodate a pair of tires, or
even more, nnd will keep them In their
original shape. It is made of a few
boards and mounted on brackets con-
structed of 8-In. strips of wood. The
sides are curved to fit the Inside of
the tire and short pieces of board are
nailed across their upper edges. The
tire Is thus supported on about a third
of Its circumference and so held in
shape.—Charles R. Fisher, In Popular
Science Monthly.
I Care of Peonies.
If you want u big crop of peonies
next spring, prepare Tor'll right now.
These plants are heavy feeders, hut
they don’t like fresh manure. Prob-
ably the best fertilizer to use Is bone
meal. A handful Is none too much
for each largo plant, and should he
workel lightly Into the soil around the
roots. Unless It happens to be n
wet season, peonies are benefited
greatly by a mulch of straw or grass
dippings, and this mulch should be
several inches deep. It will keep the
ground cool and .moist without the
necessity of fo.'klhjf It over. Don’t
try to divide your peonies now. Sep-
tember Is the one month for doiug ibis
work.
Lucky Philadelphian.
As the luckiest man, honors go to
Nicholas Murphy of Philadelphia.
Murphy walked into a moving train
between Boothwyn nnd Ogden streets,
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The locomotive cylinder tnpped him
upon the shoulder and Murphy de-
scribed a loop, alighting on his feet.
Then he sank to the ground. When a
foreman of a gang of laborers rushed
to where he was, Murphy sprang to
hi* feet and ran away, thinking he
•would be arrested for trespassing up-
on the rail roc' He had escaped in-
jury, and Ihe • jest damage done was
to the temper of the conductor of the
flyer, which was delayed ten minutes.

Hard Lead or Copper le Cut In the
c Manner Shown.
Be sure the cup Is down tight on the
tappet and that it is soldered fast
around the edge. ..
Another method that can be resorted
to is to place cardboard cylinders
around the valve-stems and tappets.
Take a piece of cardboard, shellac one
side of it, and cut it so that It will
just fit the valve housing. Then wrap
it around the tappet nnd valve-spring,
with the shellac side in, and fasten It
with bands of soft Iron wire at the
top, bottom and center. Be sm e that
there Is enough clearance fur the
valve-spring to work. After It Is In
place shellac the outside, as this will
prevent the oil from soaking into the
cardboard.

; Ing accidents during tills period is at
least as faVorable aa that of other
I sections of the country,

ling the situation, **we will substan-

f "It I* obvious that up to this time
tliatj general public Is not paying de-
served attention to the careful cross-
ing campaign, for our reports show
that a good many of such accidents
occurred over tha week-end In Chl-
jeago, and ths surrounding territory. It
, is -difficult to believe that In the face
; of this campaign motorists persist in
taking chances *t railway crossings.
It Isn’t so bad for the man driving the
madMne to fail to appreciate the dan-
ger to himself Involved In crossing
railway tracks, but surely he must
place great value upon the lives of the
people who ride with him. One Is
almost forced to think that sometimes
he does not. The time has arrives!
when we must all become aroused to
this situation and do our share in Im-
proving It."
When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them.

Temporary Job 1* Readily Don* by
Wrapping Tape Around Break
i and Cover With Wire. *
A temporary repair of the gasoline
feed line can be readily made. After
shutting off the gasoline at the tank,
i tape li wrapped around the break and
| for about two inches on each side. A
'layer of fine copper or other wire Is
then wound over the 1*1*6 making
sure that the winding is light, close
and even. Another layer or two of
tape Is then placed over the wire,
after which n few turns or wire are
wound over the tape to prevent It
from unwrapping.
This Is tosAHow Gasoline to Flow Into
*' Carburetor From Bottom of
8upply Tank.
In the cap on the filler hole In a
gravity feed tank you will usually finil
a small hole. Tills Is to allow air to
eater at the top so that the gasoline
can flow Into the carburetor from the
bottom. If gasoline falls to reach the
'Kirhuretor, though there Is plenty in
iht tank, make sure that this air vent
is open, before trying to locate a stop-
page In the line.
The Red River Valley Fair will be the most complete Auto

representation of the ability of au cos to stand up. Notice the num-
ber of Sfudebakers that will be parked—see the different models,

that are giving absolute satisfaction. When you buy a Studebaker

Clean the Screen.
' When a mesh of fine screening Is
used In the lubricating system to sep-
iarate foreign material from the oil,
these screens should be frequently In-
spected. Partlc'cs 6t metal or other
i sediment collect here, and if the
: screens are not cleansed at frequent
! intervals, this foreign matter may se-
riously Impede the flow of lubricant,
with starved Lien rings or a flooded
crankcase as the direct.rasult.
